Architecture in Rovaniemi

Alvar Aalto’s library of 1965, with sunken reading wells lit from above; free, warm and peaceful.

Aalto’s theatre and concert hall, with a wave-like roofline. See a performance or admire it from outside.

The last of Aalto’s three civic buildings here, completed in 1988 after his death.

The city’s landmark bridge over the Kemijoki, its pylons topped with light like a lumberjack’s candle.
